A review by genevieve_clerke
Soldier Sailor by Claire Kilroy

3.5

This book explores a women’s struggle with early motherhood. I thought it was written really well in a stream on consciousness kind of way, so much so that it almost felt a bit claustrophobic at times. 

However although I could empathise with her struggle I  just couldn’t really connect with the struggle of motherhood because I’ve never been through it. I only read this book cause it was on the women’s prize shortlist and so I don’t really think I was the target audience but I’m sure mothers would find it very relatable.
